Three tabs, three different jobs on the same session data: Funnel finds where
viewers drop, Breakdown compares segments side by side, and User Events is the
raw feed when you need to see exactly what one session did.
Funnel
Eight steps, in a fixed order:
Play counts the same events that count as a play everywhere else in TrackPlay:
video-play, video-unmute, video-resume, video-continue, video-restart, and
video-autoplay-sound. Muted autoplay alone (video-autoplay) does not count. A session
that never interacted beyond a silent autoplay has not cleared this step.
Pitch reached disappears from the funnel entirely when zero sessions reached it in
the selected range, which in practice means either you have not set a Pitch Time on this
video, or nobody has reached it yet in this window.
Step counts are not all measured the same way. Page view, Play, Watched to end, and
Pitch reached use exact distinct counting. The three watched-percentage steps and the
Conversion step use ClickHouse’s approximate distinct counting, which carries roughly
0.5% error at typical volumes. The gap is deliberate: quartile and conversion counts
come from separate tables joined by session, and an exact count there would cost more
than the precision is worth. It does not affect the ordering or the shape of the
funnel.
The two percentages
Each step shows two numbers.
Step conversion, the rate from the step immediately before it:
Overall conversion, the rate from the top of the funnel:
The connector between two steps shows the drop as a percentage, which is the mirror of
step conversion: what did not carry through, not what did.
Breakdown
Take any metric card from your General tab and split it by a dimension, three of which
are available: device, orientation, and traffic source. Breakdown ranks the
top 5 segments by volume and shows up to 6 metric columns, using whichever metrics you
have configured on General, in that order. Smaller segments are rolled up and disclosed,
not silently dropped: a note states how many segments and how many sessions did not make
the top 5.
Choosing orientation hides conversion and revenue columns. A viewer who rotates
their phone mid-playback appears in both the portrait and landscape segments, so a
session that later converts would be counted in full on both sides, inflating both
numbers. Device and traffic source do not have this problem. Break down by one of those
two to compare conversion or revenue across segments.
User Events
The raw feed behind every chart on this video: one row per tracked interaction, most
recent first, up to 100 rows per load (the API accepts up to 500). A footer states how
many of the total the feed is currently showing.
TrackPlay tracks these event types in this feed:
High-volume heartbeat events (the 10-second watch-time ticks that build the retention
curve) are deliberately excluded. At real traffic volumes they would drown out every
other row and are not meaningful read one at a time.
Each row shows the event type, a short description built from that event’s own fields
(the clicked link’s text, how many seconds a viewer was away before returning, the new
playback speed, and so on), the position in the video when it fired, a shortened session
code, browser, country, and both an absolute and a relative timestamp.
Search by free text, or filter by event type using the pills above the feed. Both apply
alongside the shared date range and attribution filters at the top of the page.
